The silly thing is playing up again, darn. Watching a video when the drum just sped up very fast again.
Could the drum motor be at fault, or is there a more common problem with this model?

The drum motor speeds up then gradually slows down until there's a picture, but the picture isn't stable, and whilst it's acting up, the pause function doesn't work, it advances in slow motion. When the drum speed is running at the correct speed the pause function is fine.

Thanks
Richard.
